Rebirth

Chapter 478

The Vickers Group’s party was held at Eaton Garden Estate, the residence of the Duke of Westminster.

For the Duke, Li Feng has a certain understanding. In addition to his public identity, that is, Grosvenor Properties, the largest real estate company in the UK, and the richest man in the UK, he is also Vic One of the shareholders and directors behind the Sri Lanka Group.

The family is closely related to the British royal family. The earliest can be traced back to the time of William I. When William I was, for England, this is just like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period in China. The family has lasted for nearly a thousand years and is definitely a world-class giant. family.

Li Feng sometimes feels that people are bullshit, this rich family is much older than Rockefeller, Morgan, etc., but it is a true millennium family.

Behind the scenes, one of the families that controls the fate of the British Isles, and has been prospering to the present, is really incredible. To some extent, it is much more powerful than the Queen of England-Windsor family, and it really should. The saying is "There is no dynasty for a thousand years, but a family of a thousand years".

After all, although the Queen of England is nominally the head of state, she is not in power, but she is a hereditary duke, owning a real estate company that is said to control half of London, as well as real estate projects, land, farms and ranches all over the world.

The more important point is that they can still be in power. The law does not stipulate that family members cannot become prime ministers. In history, several family members in power became prime ministers of the United Kingdom.

Similarly, many members of the family are still long-term, "hereditary" members of the House of Lords and Commons. The venue of the upper and lower parliament in the UK is the House of Parliament, which is called the Palace of Westminster, and its status can be imagined.

...

Having said that, I have to mention one thing about the Vickers Group. The Vickers Group is one of the well-known British state-owned enterprises and a military industrial enterprise. The original name is Vickers-Armstrong Group. It is one of the most powerful shipbuilding groups in the UK. One.

In the process of nationalization of British companies in the 1970s, the group was divided into two. The main business of the group was naturally the shipbuilding company. In addition, the rest of the civilian sectors became the new Wicks Group, including The famous Rolls-Royce company.

As one of the behind-the-scenes controlling families of the British Isles, it is normal for the Duke of Westminster to become a shareholder behind the scenes. Think about how many assets were unclear during the reform of the state-owned enterprises in China in the past. In fact, foreign countries also No exception.

In the wave of the nationalization of British companies in the 1970s, those behind-the-scenes families that controlled Britain didn’t know how many families were involved, and how many companies had families behind shareholders. This couldn’t be more normal.

That evening, Li Feng was alone, but in three cars, and he enjoyed the Rolls-Royce in the middle alone, accompanied by security personnel one after the other, heading towards the Duke's Palace.

Neither Wang Siqing nor Kukosqinwa showed much interest in such a banquet party, which led to Li Feng not having a female companion at night.

When Li Feng's convoy arrived at the residence of the Duke of Eaton Gardens in central London, the fence of the manor was already surrounded by media reporters and people who eat melons. It must be said that where the people who eat melons are. group.

Tonight is mainly for a commercial party for Rolls-Royce Motors. Rolls-Royce has always been a royal car and one of the symbolic faces of the United Kingdom. Therefore, the media gathering has already explained it in the party invitation, and even Li Feng saw a lot of media from outside the UK, such as the U.S. and media from other European countries. Li Feng was not surprised.

...

When Li Feng's convoy arrived, it attracted the attention of the media. After Li Feng got out of the car under the protection of security personnel, it suddenly fell silent, followed by surprises, crazy flashing lights, and the sound of taking pictures. .

Many people have recognized that Li Feng is one of the protagonists tonight, but the truth is the first time I saw him. The first impression I gave was that he was young, he was too young.

The newly-rising genius and rich boy from the U.S. said that “genius” can no longer describe the situation of Li Feng. The madness of the British media is well-known all over the world. Li Feng’s growth experience has long been reported in the media. Li Feng's famous name in the British Isles is about to become a legendary figure. It is true that Li Feng's experience is truly legendary. He is less than 18 years old, and he has become a small group of top-notch people in the world.

What's more, tonight's Li Feng has really carefully prepared a top tailored casual suit from Savile Street in London, with a slender figure like a model, and more importantly a handsome face, so A handsome half-blood boy, no matter when, the "face-seeing era" will never be out of date.

Unfortunately, media adjectives in Europe and the United States are still lacking. If we describe China's thousands of years of experience, it will be the reputation of "the best son of the world".

Under the leadership of an old butler named'William' at the Duke's Mansion, Li Feng took Joseph with him into the Duke's Manor under the attention of many people.

Along the way, various statues, fountains, pools, lawns can be seen everywhere, full of a strong atmosphere of aristocratic manor.

Look at other people’s manor, and think about Li Feng’s own "mansion". Li Feng immediately felt the gap. The garden-like beauty and the tree-lined trees. Said it was a manor, it was a small garden palace. .

After listening to the butler’s introduction, I realized that it’s nothing more than a palace. It was once called "Eton Palace". It belonged to the palace of the Duke of Westminster. It covers only 20 acres and more than 80,000 square meters. .

As far as Li Feng knows, the famous Prince Gong’s Mansion in Huaxia Capital seems to occupy only 60,000 square meters. You know, this is the most center of London, the center of London with every inch of land. Such a mansion is not too embarrassing. .

In addition to the palace complex, there are also small parks, gardens, and so on. Li Feng couldn't help but think of Kensington Palace and other models like this.

...

The group of people arrived at a side room of the main hall, and the butler introduced that it was the banquet hall of the Ducal Palace. Every time the Ducal Palace held a large party or banquet, it would be held here.

Listening to the housekeeper introducing himself with a little pride: "It is definitely one of the dreams of most people in Britain to receive a party invitation from the Duchy of Westminster." Li Feng couldn't help but laugh. John Bull may only have this pride left.

Amidst Li Feng’s somewhat boring echo and led by the old housekeeper, Li Feng and his entourage walked into the door of the banquet hall. What imprinted them was a banquet hall with hundreds of square meters of space. He heard the introduction. Only then did I know that the banquet hall is 5,000 feet, that is to say, it has an area of ​​nearly 500 square meters. Looking at the empty hall at this time, there are a lot of people standing in twos and threes, Li Feng can't help feeling for a while, really luxurious!

Not to mention anything else, just the banquet hall and decorations, etc., you can see. There are many murals and a lot of artworks on the surrounding walls. The whole banquet hall is magnificent, luxurious lighting, and lighting. , The candlelight flashes alternately, and the design is just right, full of the style and atmosphere of the British aristocracy in the old period.

At this time, Li Feng also saw that with his arrival, he saw a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s wearing a traditional British aristocratic dress, walking over with a lady and several young men and women.

Looking at the middle-aged man with white and slightly fat sideburns in front of him, Li Feng thought to himself that the middle-aged man in front of him should be the so-called Duke of Westminster.

...

"Hello, Mr. Lee, this is Gerald Grosvenor, welcome to Eaton Palace as a guest, and hope you have a good evening."

"Thank you Lord Duke for the banquet. The beautiful Eaton Palace has opened my eyes. I think tonight will be a very good night."

"Haha..., isn't it? It's my honor. Allow me to introduce you to you."

Listening to the decent, natural and humble manner of the duke in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but feel that the true aristocratic demeanor was really inherited to his bones.

Naturally, Li Feng also knows that there is still pride in John's bones. People will not be humble to ordinary people. Only people of equal status can make people put away their pride.

Obviously, I now have the ability to sit down and talk with anyone.
